Intro:
E( E9   E   E/B  E) A(A/F#)
F#m E D F#m A E
F#m E D F#m A E
F#m E D C#m Bm A/E
( E   E9   E   E/B   E  A)
I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
F#m   E  DThere can be no denying
F#m   A  EThat the wind will shake 'em down
F#m   E  DAnd the flag we're flying
F#m   A  EIs the new flag of the land
F#mIf we could Ejust join Dhands
If we could C#mjust join Bmhands
If we could just join...
In fields of plenty
When heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight
And purple moonlight
I hear the restless rivers call
And the wind is crying
From a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lying,
On the dark side of the globe
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
( D  E)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
( D  E)
You got me rockin' when I ought to be a-rollin'
Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stolen
Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go
That's right
solo
Oh how I wonder
Oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I've all this wonder
Of earthly plunder
Will it leave us anything to show
And our time is flying
See the candle burning low
Is the new world rising,
From the shambles of the old
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just,
If we could just, if we could just,
If we could just join hands
Hey, that's all it takes, that's all it takes
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah, ooh yeah
Aah! Aah!
That's right! That's right!
That's right! That's right!

The story behind the song

"The Rover" began its life as an acoustic piece, conceived at the rustic Bron-Yr-Aur retreat in Wales. It later transformed into a hard rock track, recorded during the sessions for Houses of the Holy but ultimately released on the 1975 double album Physical Graffiti. The song features the powerful collaboration of guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant, showcasing the band's signature heavy electric-guitar sound. It plays like a testament to the band's ability to evolve a song over time, from a quiet beginning to a blistering rock anthem.
